I used the sendmail.cf that came with the utility, making only the necessary changes to put in place the machine name. Now, I can get email out of the system to other machines just fine (via the Ethernet port using TCP/IP), but I can't seem to get mail delivered into the machine. Here's what I get whenever I try to send something into the machine from elsewhere: From: MAILER-DAEMON@foobar.mit.edu (Mail Delivery Subsystem) Subject: Returned mail: Service unavailable ----- Transcript of session follows ----- >>> HELO foobar.mit.edu <<< 553 foobar.mit.edu Do not communicate with self 554 ... Service unavailable: No such file or directory All of the Internet services (finger, rlogin, ftp, etc) are working just fine; only just the mail seems to be screwed up. I suspect I'm doing something wrong in sendmail.cf, although I can't imagine what. I haven't made any changes to it other than the machine name and domain information. Anybody have any suggestions as to what I'm doing wrong? Jim Vlcek (vlcek@caf.mit.edu vlcek@athena.mit.edu)
